Think Ombré
Think about everything you’ve ever been taught about how to execute a perfect smoky eye. Got it? Now forget all of it. “[Eyeshadow for Asian eyes is] less about adding dimension to the outer crease (since there is none), and more about creating an even, ombré effect from your lash line toward your brow,” Nasrat says.
Nasrat lines her mono-lidded clients’ eyes with black gel liner and then takes a flat, tapered eye shadow brush and applies a dark brown matte shadow in a curved shape right above the lid. Then, she takes a light brown matte shadow and applies it right above the darker shade. Finally, she blends everything out for a soft, smoky effect using MAC’s 217 Synthetic Blending Brush ($28). The same technique goes for using colored eye shadows—Nasrat takes a navy blue or light purple and fills up the whole lid halfway, and then blends upward.
